A full-flavored and visual treat

Gouda has always gotten a bit of a bad rap. It's a real cheese, but many purists have treated it like Bel Paese and Edam, i.e. foreign Velveeta. It's been interesting to watch it "mature" over the years, e.g. smoked, mushroom or jalapeno-laden versions. And surely no one could deny that 5-year old gouda is not the equal of any well-aged granular sharp cheese. So along comes Basiron Rosso from Veldhuyzen kaas. A beautiful red color, redolent of tomatoes, basil and garlic. Pizza indeed. But try it thinly sliced over good sourdough (maybe first a small smear of European cultured butter) and place under the broiler for 20 seconds. You won't miss the pepperoni.

It tastes like pizza.

The first two sentences of the description say it all. This cheese is tasty (tastes like pizza)and pretty creamy. I'd just let it come to room temp and serve it with plain crackers; it's too flavorful to add fancy crackers.

Interesting Flavor

Different strokes for different folks. My wife didn't like this because, as she put it, "it tastes just like pizza." She loves pizza, but I think tasting the pizza flavor, when she was expecting a cheesy Gouda, put her off a bit. I liked it a lot and found that the Gouda stood up alright to the herbs and tomatoes... It was a strange sensation, however, distinct cheese and pizza flavors can be tasted as you chew. It's a very nice cheese as long as you're okay with your tongue getting sensations that your eyes didn't expect. And boy does it ever make a cheese board look attractive. I'm looking forward to trying it in a sandwich.

Really good!!

As with the green Pesto cheese, this is the 2nd time I've ordered this and it's ALWAYS a favorite with everyone. I use it in cooking as well as a tasting cheese, and you only need 1 or 2 thin slices to add a lot of flavor. It is super delicious and NOT to be missed. Works well in combo with the pesto cheese too.

A pleasing taste

This would be great on the right kind of sandwich. Maybe an Italian hogie?

Excellent!

Th 3 cheeses that I ordered arrived in excellent condition, given the warm weather. The Liederkranz was a gift for a good friend whose been searching for it for years. It was a real hit! The Basiron Rosso was something I never heard of, so I couldn't pass it up. I'll be ordering that again for sure! The Pecorino Romano was wonderful on some home made pasta for dinner. Love your cheeses!
